Happy Epiphany Season!
Epiphany is a season that celebrates the revelation of Jesus’ divine nature to the world, through the visit of the Magi (the main subject of the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6), Jesus’ baptism, and his first miracle. We continue to use the word “epiphany” to mean a moment when we realize the hidden essence of a thing. This is a good time to come to church for readings from the Bible about who Jesus really is and why he came to us. Spoiler alert: Jesus is the Son of God who came to show us what God is like and to die for our sins. This is good news because we are unable to save ourselves.
